With fall colors all abound, it is that time of year, isn’t it? Family portraits beckon as we start to think of what we will put in our holiday cards to friends and family.
I find that I end up overusing my new favorite spot each year. Once I take a set of portraits [...]

Ok, this is a blatant, outright self-promoting plea to ask everyone to please vote for my photo in the Digital Photography School/Photrade portrait contest. I am sure there are going to be thousands of incredible entries, so my hope is I just get lucky with some great power of friends and [...]

Ok, maybe love is a strong word. Perhaps enjoy, appreciate or really like would be more fitting. I crave feedback. Whether good, bad or ugly (no finger pointing), I like hearing what people think. Flickr is great for building a network of friends and other “like minded” people to share [...]

I guess we could have tried to take something serious, but why would we [...]

This is my brother and his wife. We were out at a time of day where the direct sun was so bright that keeping their eyes open just wasn’t happening. If I had the time to set things up, and an assistant or two, I would turned them around and used some reflected [...]

My niece and nephew helped me make this image by walking up and down a nearby field. We were there to take just some “couples” themed photos of their parents (which will likely appear on another day this week), but I ended up liking this photo of them best.

Derek and Autumn shot a couples session with me last week in anticipation of this theme. The reason we shot a few days early was that Autumn is ready to pop any day now! They are such a happy couple anticipating their first born. Thanks to both of them being so ready and willing to [...]
